CONCORD — As Memorial Day weekend approaches and many Granite Staters prepare for summer road trips, rising gasoline prices are increasing pressure on household budgets and could also create longer-term challenges for maintaining New Hampshire’s roads and bridges, according to a new analysis from the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute.
The analysis, “Higher Gasoline Prices Could Strain Both Households and Transportation Maintenance Budgets,” examines recent gasoline price increases across New Hampshire and New England using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, American Automobile Association, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, and other federal and state-level data sources. The study also examines how changes in fuel consumption could affect transportation funding and infrastructure maintenance in New Hampshire over time.
